	Media	Author	Review
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"[3rd Season Review]: Danny McBride’s religious satire is back and funnier than ever, reigning as HBO’s worthy heir to 'Succession'."
		Kyle Fowle TV Guide	"[3rd Season Review]: The Danny McBride series returns with a timely, bitingly funny critique of excess"
		Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"[3rd Season Review]: Given that the show’s upcoming nine-episode third season is the comedy’s most consistent and confident to date, this could end up being one of the defining programs of HBO for years to come"
		Ross Bonaime Collider	"[3rd Season Review]: Danny McBride's brilliant comedy gets even bigger and better than ever before.
		Alison Herman Variety	"[3rd Season Review]: The show isn't making new points about the hypocrisy of for-profit worship. It just underscores them in ever more audacious ways (...) Like most of 'The Righteous Gemstones', that last bit must be seen to be believed"
		Matt Schimkowitz AV Club	"[3rd Season Review]: When all its elements click together, 'The Righteous Gemstones' can delight like no other show"
		Nandini Balial rogerebert.com	"[3rd Season Review]: 'The Righteous Gemstones' continues to be one of HBO's best series, with excellent production value, vivid costume work, and of course, great writing"
		Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"[3rd Season Review]: As gloriously ridiculous as ever"
		Johnny Loftus Decider	"[3rd Season Review]: 'The Righteous Gemstones' is in power struggle mode on the inside and outside of the family's megachurch empire. Jealousy and fear are in play, plus old secrets that won't go away quiet"
		Will Ashton The Playlist	"[2nd Season Review]: 'The Righteous Gemstones' showcases a depth and maturity by spending more time excavating its evangelical empire (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Garrett Martin Paste Magazine	"[2nd Season Review]: masterfully combine the outsized and the subdued, contrasting broad, loud, propulsive comedy with surprisingly nuanced characterizations and a believable setting"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"[2nd Season Review]: [A] Funny, Clever Second Season"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] gives great jokes and incredible characters the glorious pulpit they deserve."
		Ross Bonaime Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: McBride has turned The Righteous Gemstones into the Christian Succession (...) a brilliant combination of insanity and surprising heart"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[1st Season Review]: 'The Righteous Gemstones' is coarse and enthusiastically performed, with punchlines that don't always hit for me, but the first six episodes have highlights of surprising potency."
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[1st Season Review]: [It] can be credited with showing us more of what Danny McBride can do, but the series has disappointingly little to say."
		Niv M. Sultan Slant	"[1st Season Review]: The series is a compelling and humanizing study of its characters, the faith they profess, and the world they strive to proselytize (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"[1st Season Review]: For the bulk of this opener, 'The Righteous Gemstones' hovers cautiously, without ever quite finding the strength of its voice. But it clearly has the potential to be much more (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Randall Colburn AV Club	"[1st Season Review]: Goodman, McBride, and Devine nail the rousing vocal rhythms, flowing physicality, and feel-good patter of a Southern Baptist megachurch"
		Judy Berman Time	"[1st Season Review]: [It] is all cheap shots and no insights (...) [McBride] isn’t the right storyteller for the job."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[1st Season Review]: [It] proves surprisingly endearing in its approach to a fractured family and offers an idyllic setting for its amazing, ever-growing cast to preach their gospel."
		Jen Chaney Vulture	"[1st Season Review]: The series never aims its arrow directly enough, nor establishes clearly what its target is (...) McBride has an undeniably great instinct for unearthing what’s so hilarious about pathetic, insecure grown men"
